The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Xuzhou

In the lawn plaza, hidden currents surged, but on the surface, the atmosphere became even more harmonious. Each group, each person, laughed heartily, but their inner vigilance had reached the highest level.

Once the truce time ends, the plaza is bound to usher in a bloody storm. Most students had already concluded that this would be the final battleground for everyone.

When the time comes, it’s either you perish or I die.

As for whether there’s any conspiracy among Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao’s group, people no longer cared. No matter how much of a conspiracy they might have, can they handle hundreds of people? Haven’t you heard of ants biting elephants to death?

Moreover, people had been closely monitoring and paying attention to the movements of Ji You’s group. From the moment they started setting up stalls until now, nothing unusual had been found. If they were up to something, the most likely place would be on the lawn, but then?

This vast lawn, flat on all sides, without a single building, is full of lush green grass. Before Ji You’s group appeared, it had always been within various groups’ surveillance range. After Ji You’s group appeared, everyone watched them walk in. It was all transparent; Ji You’s group couldn’t pull any tricks.

...

Therefore.

Except for Yu Yi, Penny... these few naturally suspicious individuals, after integrating investigations and observations from all sides, most students had already ruled out suspicion of Ji You’s group.

As the deadline for the truce agreement approached, with Ji You’s group patrolling with weapons, students’ focus had shifted from Ji You’s group to those students with competitive relationships.

How to leave later, the best escape route, if encountering a sniper, how to counterattack...

The whole lawn plaza was tense, as if sparks could fly at any moment.

From another perspective, Ji You’s goal was achieved. With delicious food, all the students were deceived to gather in a wide open plaza. Mu Jianling had already completed the task given to Ji You, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Chu Jiaojiao... this group.

Now, Ji You’s team didn’t need to do anything but patiently wait for the students themselves to fall into slaughter.

But!

As a king at the Peak of the Universe, how could she be content with the status quo, satisfied with just getting a passing score? She must find a way to annihilate all the students entirely!

Now that there were already conflicts among the students, now all that’s needed is a catalyst!

...

A gentle breeze brushed against the cheek, and at one side of the lawn, Qi Fang had almost finished eating all the snacks bought from Ji You, leaving only a piece of beef jerky in his mouth. He bit off a tiny piece each time with his teeth, chewing carefully, reluctant to swallow immediately, savoring the salty and savory taste of the beef...

Footsteps approached quietly.

Qi Fang’s body suddenly tensed, but just as he reacted, the other party had already gripped his neck, pressing a gun against his heart. Qi Fang furrowed his brows.

Xuzhou said with a stern face, ”Your reflexes are still so poor.”

After saying this.

Xuzhou took back his hand and put the gun back into the Space Button.

A trace of caution flashed in Qi Fang’s eyes. He said, ”Brother, suddenly doing this, what are you trying to do?”

Xuzhou rolled up his trouser leg, sitting down on the grass, saying, ”If I wanted to kill you, you would already be lying here by now.”

Qi Fang: ”...”

Qi Fang’s heart trembled slightly, becoming more cautious, saying, ”Don’t joke around.”

Xuzhou: ”I’m not joking, I really wanted to kill you just now.”

Qi Fang: ”...”

Xuzhou pointed at the grass beside him, signaling Qi Fang to sit, and then said, ”You need more vigilance, stronger reflexes, otherwise, in this lawn battle royale, you and your group surely won’t survive.”

Qi Fang moved over, saying, ”I’m starting to regret it, I should never have been greedy, shouldn’t have eaten that beef jerky, and now it’s too late, my mouth is scalded.”

Xuzhou handed him a piece of beef jerky. Qi Fang, who just said he regretted eating beef jerky, immediately forgot his previous words and reached out to take it, happily eating: ”So delicious.”

Xuzhou said, ”The beef jerky is poisonous.”

Qi Fang: ”...”

Qi Fang chewed for a moment, just about to swallow, halfway down, not completely swallowed. At this moment, he was choked violently, the beef jerky stuck directly in his throat.

”Cough, cough...”

”Cough, cough...”

Xuzhou handed over a bottle of mineral water. Qi Fang took several big gulps after coughing hard a few times, finally swallowing the beef jerky. Qi Fang said angrily, ”Don’t joke around.”

Xuzhou: ”Cough, cough...”

Xuzhou said, ”Almost forgot to tell you, the water is also poisoned.”

Qi Fang slanted his eyes, saying, ”That’s not funny now.”

”Okay, I was just kidding you.” Xuzhou suddenly straightened his face, saying seriously, ”Qi Fang, Yu Yi, and Penny’s group has already formed an alliance with Xie Zhi, Wu Junyi, Fan Yuankai, and Andrew’s groups. They agreed on launching an attack against yours 30 seconds before the deadline.”

Qi Fang was shocked, ”Impossible, right?”

Xuzhou stood up, saying, ”I’ll just say this, believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Qi Fang: ”Hey!”

But before he could stop him, Xuzhou had already taken a couple of steps. Just as Qi Fang wanted to catch up and ask more, he was unable to; at that moment, fellow townsman Zhang Ye approached Xuzhou, slightly disapproving, saying: ”Xuzhou, you said it? You shouldn’t have, this way it’s like breaking the rules of the assessment and affecting the evaluation of others. The group that received your hint survived due to good luck.”

”What about those who didn’t get the information from you, aren’t they just unfortunate?”

Upon hearing this, a blush crept up from the side of Xuzhou’s stern face. He felt a bit ashamed, saying, ”But I’ve already leaked secrets to others, what should I do?”

Zhang Ye said, ”Forget it, just hold it in and don’t say anymore.”

The two gradually left.

Qi Fang looked at Zhang Ye and Xuzhou’s backs, his expression slightly complex. Did these two intentionally tell him because they were fellow townsmen out of goodwill?

Someone in Qi Fang’s group said, ”Do you think what Xuzhou just said is true?”

The Captain said, ”Probably true, Xie Zhi, Wu Junyi, Fan Yuankai... and others, altogether four groups, agreed to form an alliance.” Though not obvious, some smart students had already seen Penny secretly whispering with Xie Zhi, Wu Junyi, Fan Yuankai... and others. Then it seemed they quickly reached some agreement...

This makes it hard not to suspect these groups wanting to make trouble.

Qi Fang asked, ”Captain, then what should we do?”

The Captain’s eyes deepened, saying, ”Since they can form alliances, why can’t we?”

After forming alliances, the outcome is yet to be decided.
